Analysis of key security and privacy concerns and viable solutions in Cloud computing

Cloud Security and Privacy is the most concerned area in the development of newly advance technological domains like cloud computing, the cloud of things, the Internet of Things. However, with the growing popularity and diverse nature of these technologies, security and privacy are becoming intricate matters and affect the adoption of cloud computing. Many small and large enterprises are in conflict while migrating towards cloud technology and this is because of no proper cloud adoption policy guideline, generic solutions for system migration issues, systematic models to analyze security and privacy performance provided by different cloud models. Our proposed literature review focuses on the problems and identifies solutions in the category of security and privacy. A comprehensive analysis of various identified techniques published during 2010 – 2018 has been presented. We have reviewed 51 studies including research papers and systematic literature reviews on the factors of security and privacy. After analyzing, the papers have been classified into 5 major categories to get an appropriate solution for our required objectives of this study. This work will facilitate the researchers and as well the companies to select appropriate guideline while adopting cloud services.
